Abstract

Hospitals are highly resource-intensive institutions due to continuous clinical and administrative operations that require large amounts of energy, water, technology, and materials. This study reviews the implementation of green hospitals in Indonesia using a narrative literature review approach based on recent journal articles, policy documents, and WHO reports. The findings show that green hospital practices have developed mainly in waste management, energy efficiency, water conservation, and environmental governance. However, implementation remains uneven because of limited funding, weak interdepartmental coordination, inadequate monitoring systems, and low organizational commitment. Despite these barriers, green hospitals provide benefits such as operational efficiency, improved accreditation, enhanced institutional image, and better comfort for patients and staff. The study concludes that stronger leadership, standardized indicators, policy incentives, phased investment, and integration of environmental targets into hospital governance are essential for sustainable hospital transformation in Indonesia.

Abstract

Hospitals are resource-intensive institutions that contribute significantly to environmental burdens through energy use, water consumption, pharmaceuticals, chemicals, and waste production. In Indonesia, the green hospital concept has become increasingly important amid climate change and the pursuit of sustainable health governance. This study examines the organizational support that enables the implementation of green hospitals using a narrative literature review approach. The findings show that organizational support consists of leadership commitment, internal governance, employee engagement, budgeting, infrastructure, stakeholder collaboration, and environmental accountability systems. However, implementation remains constrained by policy fragmentation, limited funding, weak monitoring systems, and uneven organizational cultures. The study concludes that successful green hospital implementation depends not only on technology adoption but also on strong institutional capacity, integrated governance, and sustainable organizational support to achieve long-term environmental transformation in Indonesian hospitals.

Abstract

Physical activity is determined by the form of body movement that occurs due to skeletal muscle contractions that can cause an increase in calories in the body exceeding energy needs in the resting phase. During the Covid-19 pandemic, social distancing is enforced, working from home and school from home so that it can affect a person's physical activity. This research is an observational analytic with a cross-sectional design conducted at the Syiah Kuala University Dormitory for the period November 2021. Physical activity during the Covid- 19 pandemic was assessed using the International Physica Activity    Questionnaire (IPAQ) questionnaire through filling out the google form. The number of samples is 247 students using the. The number of samples is 247 students using the total population technique. The results of the study were 205 respondents (83%) had moderate physical activity, and 192 respondents (77.7%) were female, and 150 respondents (60.7%) had normal body mass index, and 50 respondents (20.2%) came from the Faculty of Teacher Training and Education.

Abstract

Radiation-induced esophageal stricture (RIES) represents a severe late complication in patients receiving radiotherapy, resulting in progressive dysphagia that can significantly impair quality of life. Several therapeutic options exist, including endoscopic dilation, injection therapy, incision, self-dilatation, surgical correction, and temporary stent placement. Among these, temporary esophageal stenting offers the potential advantage of providing sustained luminal expansion, stimulating tissue remodeling, and achieving long-term symptom relief. A 47-year-old woman with stage IV breast carcinoma and a prior history of radiotherapy presented with progressive difficulty swallowing. Over three months, her dysphagia worsened from solids to liquids. Endoscopic evaluation revealed a 4 cm esophageal stricture. Initial CRE balloon dilation improved her symptoms temporarily, but recurrence occurred, prompting a repeat endoscopy with adjunctive corticosteroid injection. Due to the relapse, a fully covered self-expandable metallic stent (SEMS) was placed to minimize the need for repeated dilations. The procedure was completed without complications. The management of benign esophageal strictures aims to reestablish luminal patency and alleviate dysphagia. SEMS placement represents an effective and reliable therapeutic option, particularly in cases of radiation-induced stricture where balloon dilation alone fails to achieve lasting results.

Abstract

This study aims to systematically review the relationship between sedentary behavior (SB) and various cardiometabolic health indicators in adolescents. The method used was a literature synthesis of 21 international and local studies reporting associations between SB and cardiorespiratory fitness (CRF), body mass index (BMI), waist circumference, blood pressure, and clustered cardiometabolic risk scores. The analysis results indicate that SB is consistently negatively associated with CRF, with correlations ranging from r = −0.21 to −0.45, as well as reductions in VO₂max of −0.30 to −0.65 standard deviations. In addition, adolescents in the highest SB quartile had a 1.25–1.85 times greater risk of obesity, BMI increases of 0.3–1.2 kg/m², larger waist circumference, and elevated systolic blood pressure of 2–6 mmHg. SB was also positively associated with clustered cardiometabolic risk scores (+0.28 to +0.52 SMD), reflecting systemic effects on blood glucose, lipids, and insulin resistance. These findings confirm that sedentary behavior is an independent risk factor for cardiorespiratory fitness and cardiometabolic health in adolescents, therefore interventions emphasizing reduced sedentary duration, increased moderate to vigorous physical activity, and regular active breaks represent important strategies for preventing cardiometabolic diseases from an early age.

Abstract

The increase in the number of the elderly population poses significant challenges in the field of community mental health, especially in efforts to improve psychosocial well-being in rural and urban contexts that have different social characteristics. This study aims to analyze the impact of rural-urban differences from community-based mental health interventions on inter-generational lifestyles, resilience, and happiness index in the elderly. Quantitative data were collected through a pre-test questionnaire on 60 elderly respondents, consisting of 30 elderly people in rural areas and 30 elderly people in urban areas. Data analysis was carried out using paired tests and comparative tests as well as regression analysis to assess the impact of interventions and differences in regional contexts. Qualitative data were obtained through in-depth interviews with 12 informants, including the elderly, cross-generational family members, and community facilitators, and then analyzed using thematic analysis. The results showed that the intervention significantly improved the resilience and happiness of the elderly in both regions, with varying impacts between rural and urban. In conclusion, the effectiveness of community-based mental health interventions is greatly influenced by the social context of the region, so that the adjustment of program design based on village and city characteristics is key in improving the mental well-being of the elderly sustainably.

Abstract

Lectin-like oxidized low-density lipoprotein receptor-1 (LOX-1) is categorized under the class E scavenger receptor subgroup. To date, seven distinct polymorphisms have been characterized within the LOX-1 gene, including the 3'UTR188C/T variant. This investigation clinical trial enrolled 35 volunteer subjects (mean age 43 ± 4.6 years, consisting of 27 females and 8 males). Deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) was extracted from peripheral blood leukocytes employing the standard salting-out methodology. Genotyping of the LOX-1 3′UTR188CT variant was performed using Polymerase Chain Reaction-Restriction Fragment Length Polymorphism (PCR-RFLP). Digestion with the RsaI restriction enzyme yielded two fragments (184 bp and 23 bp) corresponding to the C allele, and a single intact 207 bp fragment corresponding to the T allele. The restricted DNA fragments were subsequently visualized via ethidium bromide staining. Genotypic analysis of the LOX-1 gene revealed that the CC genotype was present in 15 participants (43%), the CT genotype in 17 participants (49%), and the TT genotype in 3 participants (8%). Out of the 35 subjects, the T allele was detected in 23 individuals (33%), whereas the C allele was highly predominant, appearing in 47 individuals (67%). In conclusion, our investigation demonstrates that the heterozygous CT genotype is the most prevalent variant within this study cohort, and the frequency of the minor T allele is significantly lower than that of the major C allele.
